This tender aims to appoint service providers for two lots: Play Provision for children aged 5 to 14 years and Youth Provision for individuals aged 11 to 25 years, both across the county borough. The tender was initiated on 31st May 2022, with the first stage closing for submissions on 22nd June 2022 at 12:00. The procurement process follows a Light Touch Regime, allowing greater flexibility in compliance with regulations. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those focused on youth and childcare. Providers able to deliver high-quality, freely chosen play and youth opportunities are encouraged to participate. Businesses with experience in social services, educational programmes, or recreational activities would be ideally suited to compete for these contracts, which will enable them to contribute significantly to community engagement and development while fostering business growth through long-term relationships with the council. ## Notice The procurement process is structured to contain 2 lots. Lot 1 is for Play provision and seeks to appoint play providers capable of delivering play opportunities for CYP aged 5 to 14 years across the county borough. Lot 2 is for Youth provision and seeks to appoint youth providers capable of delivering youth opportunities for CYP aged 11 to 25 years across the county borough . Both opportunities will require providers to deliver freely chosen open access opportunities from various sites across RCT. The services to be procured under this ITT are applicable to regulations 74-77 under chapter 3 for Social and other specific services known as "Light Touch Regime". Therefore, the Council is not obliged to comply with the full extent of the Regulations, only those parts which apply to the Light Touch Regime. This process will operate as an 'Approved List' that will quality assure providers. In order to obtain a position on the 'Approved List' providers will need to pass a questionnaire. The process will run in 2 Stages: 1st Stage will be open for a reduced period of time to capture as many responses as possible. This will close for evaluation at 12:00 22nd June 2022. Once Providers have been notified following evaluation, 1st Stage will shut down, and the 2nd Stage will commence. The 2nd Stage will remain open and available for the approved list duration (2 year initial period, and options to extend on an annual basis subject to reviews and funding), allowing new providers to express their interest and apply to join one or both Lots at any time. Unsuccessful Providers will also be given the opportunity to reapply until successful. ### Lot Information Play Provision Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC are seeking to appoint a range of play providers to deliver play opportunities for Children and Young People (CYP) aged 5 to 14 years across the county borough.
